Performance Reviews

https://thoughtbot.com/playbook/the-thoughtbot-way/people/performance-reviews

In order to continually improve ourselves and the company, all year round on every project we're on, we receive regular feedback from clients, managers, and teammates. We additionally have formal performance review two times a year.

Reviews include a self-review, and feedback from both our manager and peers. The team feedback is shared with us before the review meeting.

The agenda for review meetings is roughly:

  • Review the feedback from team members
  • Our performance on recent consulting projects
  • Our investment time contributions
  • Our satisfaction with our work, projects, and the company
  • Our questions about thoughtbot and our strategy
  • Our areas of focus for the next quarter

Performance reviews are not directly tied to salary; scores are not used to calculate pay. However, performance and progress over time are considered in both, so there is overlap without a direct calculation.
